Calling anyone with drop and stock rims. Pics anyone?
I've only found a couple orgers with aftermarket springs/struts and stock wheels. I'm trying to get a feel for what different drops look like on stock rims. Please post pics of your setup! To start things off, I found Studman runs Tien and KYB-GR2's...very low:

EDIT>>Be sure to mention what springs/struts you're running!

Strange...Lith and Studman are both running the same setup (KYB-GR2's and Teins), but Lith's looks lower. The pics tell the story. Any guess as to why?

TitaniuMax - That's exactly the drop I've been looking for! Looks perfectly even. Now this is how the Max should have looked from the factory. So how's the ride with the stock struts? Planning on upgrading when the OEM struts wear out?

Great shots! I'm considering the Maxspeeds/Tokico's because I've heard this combo offers the best ride. I know the Tiens/Sprints are out because that drop is too low for my preference. Any other drops that offer a near stock ride?

Spring Rates
Does anyone have the RATES for the following springs:

OEM/Stock:
Sprints:
Maxspeeds:
Eibach:
H&R:

So far all I know is:

TEIN: 201/265
PROGRESS: 165 / 200

I have the Illuminas and Progress springs waiting to go on my Max -- but after taking a ride in MDEALs max with TEINs and Tok BLues, i'm wondering if the progress springs are going to be STIFF ENOUGH for the ride-quality I want.
I'm trying to compare to make my final decsion b-4 mounting....


ANY input from you guys would be great!!

Check my homepage for GR2+Maxspeed combo. It actually settled a bit lower than those early pics show.
